How I Travel Cheap! Tips for Traveling on a Budget | Minimalist Travel Tips

Hi Connie, another great video as usual. We retired early on a low income but still wanted to travel so we started house/pet sitting, we only have to pay the petrol there and back but get a home to stay in, some in the most amazing locations, something that would costs many thousands of $, we decide where we want to go and how long we stay, we connect with locals all for free. We were planning to go to UK before covid hit, but for time being we are just starting housesitting here again in Australia, actually doing a housesit at the beach as I write this.😀blessings from Australia

Happy Traveling! I love to travel. I hope these tips help you on your traveling adventures.

Do you travel alone? If you do, how do you do it? My husband doesn’t like to travel. I want to travel by myself. Thank in advance!

It looks like you were traveling in winter. That's another great way to save money...travel during the off-season. Summer is usually the worst time to travel due to high demand.

Wow amazing tips my friend. So glad I subscribed to your channel way back and enjoy watching the amazing videos you put out. I lived in Germany for couple years and it is beautiful. I’m planning a trip to Italy soon now that things are kind of getting back to normal and really appreciate all the travel tips you offered. Thanks so much 💕

I didn’t know you could do google maps and add the train information. That is good to know, thank you.

I love travel. Im Tour Guide in Johannesburg, South Africa. I love road trip.

Great tips! I'm excited to start traveling some now that it is getting safer. On another note... would you consider doing a DIY Pixie Cut video? I also have a pixie. It's shorter than yours, but I'd love to learn how to cut it myself. Ever since I watched one of your videos where you mentioned you cut your own hair, I'm inspired to as well. It would save me so much money! Your hair always looks great! Thanks for considering this request and safe travels.

Great tips Connie, thanks for sharing 👍

Ohhh, this is one of my absolute favourite things to do...I travelled to all 50 of the United States, 6 of the world's continents, and 78 countries overall...I'm deeply grateful for the profession that I'm in as many of the countries I've had the pleasure of visiting have been through my job...I agree with you about the cost of the airfare and that one should start looking a good month out to secure a reasonably priced ticket, unless they're willing to fly standby...On my "personal" trips, I use mostly Hostels, which are very common throughout Europe...If you enjoy cooking, there's usually a common kitchen available for one to use...I like the community of lodgers and meeting up with all kinds of people from around the world...Buying foods from local street shops can be cheaper than buying at more established supermarkets...I too use the public transportation system...I'm usually very central to the city, so tend to walk wherever I need to go, but if I am a bit outside the area or I just want to see the sights, I definitely will use the local transportation. Congratulations to you for your daughter's dance troupe performing Giselle. I recently saw a movie where that performance was front and center to the story's plotline.

Fabulous tour~ thanks for bringing us along for part of it. Looks like a beautiful city. You must be so proud of your daughter. I actually got a tear in my eye looking at the beautiful church interior. Just stunning. I made a note of the Kiwi site for future reference., Thanks!

I am very lucky that I get to keep my airline miles from work. One of the perks for being there from the beginning of the company and pretty much working for free. 😂 This year I am using my companion voucher to take my mom to Europe. It will be her first time!! You are so right about public transportation being easy to use in Europe. Great tips!!

thank you so much for this video! i’ve been privileged to have travelled a lot in the past, but want to start traveling solo. i forgot how affordable it can be if you know how to freak it hehe 😊

Your voice is so polite and good. Just felt like listening to you. Best of luck from India.

I loved your travel tips, let us know more about budget travel.. peace to you!

What a lovely video! I, like you, have two grown up daughters who have recently started to move out and travel so I can understand exactly what you say and feel!

No one has mentioned your beautiful daughter!! What a joy to have a ballerina in the family!! I love the ballet!!! (and your money saving videos!)

Thank you for sharing Connie, I particularly enjoy the storytelling and the relaxing voice-over of your video. Cheers :)

Thank you for this. I am about to take my very first trip solo. (This one will be to relax.) Then my son and I are going to Italy in May. We definitely want to get the best bang for our buck. I'm surprised you didn't mention a rewards card for the airfare.

Thanks for the tips! I learned a couple things from this video lol
